Cake charges

[Siouxie]

Hello
I’m new here. Does anyone know the going rate to charge for a lemon sponge with strawberries & cream ?

there is none, google your local area for a typical cake of the same size, flavor isn't important.
and in the end its all in the "sell".

I made french wedding cakes for 400,
home bakers can sell wedding cakes from boxed mix for thousands, they are skilled at the sell.

The rates vary depending on the country and region, everyone has a different price for making this cake, one more or less in a large city, it will certainly be more expensive than in a smaller one, for example, it is for $ 50, which is a lot, unfortunately

The price of a lemon sponge with strawberries and cream can vary depending on your location, the size of the dessert, and the ingredients used. On average, you could charge between $4 and $8 or serving for a homemade dessert. However, it is important to consider your costs, competition, and the perceived value of the dessert to set a competitive yet profitable price.

The price for a lemon sponge cake with strawberries and cream can vary quite a bit depending on a few factors. You'll want to consider the cost of your ingredients, the time it takes to make the cake, and any overhead costs like kitchen utilities or special equipment. Additionally, the price can be influenced by your location and the going rates in your area.

Welcome to the forum! Cake pricing can vary quite a bit depending on where you’re located and the quality of ingredients you use. For a lemon sponge with strawberries and cream, you might want to consider factors like the size of the cake, the complexity of the decoration, and your ingredient costs.

In general, for a custom cake like this, prices can range from $30 to $70 or more. If you're just starting out, you might want to price on the lower end to attract customers and build your reputation. As you gain experience and confidence, you can adjust your prices accordingly. It’s always a good idea to check with local bakeries or cake decorators to get a sense of what others in your area are charging.
